Title: Boost Cellular
Post by: Coon Dog on February 14, 2010, 09:38:40 AM
I was on Sprint $99 Everything.  Like $120 Total

Switched to Boost $53 all bills paid.

Got this phone for $59 On Sale. (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Boost+Mobile+-+Motorola+i776+No-Contract+Mobile+Phone+-+Silver/Brown/8982942.p?id=1218004379896&skuId=8982942&st=776&cp=1&lp=2)   Not a smart phone by far.

This phone is IDEN and can be used as a modem and had a standard mini usb so I had a wire.  Used this post. (https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/14681;jsessionid=8F524BAA624A8F6FE428DF647675AA40.node0)

Now I got unlimited everything plus internet for the $53.  It is half the speed of dial up, but Full Tilt Poker only uses a 5th of that.

Then with Photobucket have a picture on the internet in 30 sec. (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v504/robrahn123/Mobile%20Uploads/)

Note:  Boost runs off the IDEN Nextel towers and Virgin Mobile runs of Sprints CDMA.  So Nextel and Sprints use totally differant towers.  Sprints CDMA being newer with 3G and better coverage. Boost has slower  internet speeds than Nextel.

T-Mobile has a 49.95 plan to.  But probably extra cost.

Well I guess is how I understood it.

Heather's got the same phone and blan. What was the extra $3 for? I just ordered my i856 http://www.boostmobilestore.com/bpdirect/boost/PhoneList.do?action=view&id=i856 from Boost for $50 less than I could get it at the stopre for. Gonna migrate over all my Sprint information when it comes in next week.

I read somewhere on one of the (million) forums that you could get a Boost on the CDMA network. You had to have a Sanyo 6760 or 3810 and do something else. I'll see if I can find out where I saw it.

What was the extra $3 for?  I thought tax, but I just looked.  $50 flat.  Hmmm...

if you buy a boost card at a gas station or somewhere else, it's either tax or a convenience fee of $3.
jr's got the same plan, and his costs $50-53 depending on where we buy it.

It depends on where you pay your bill i have had boost for about a year now. At wireless toys it is $53 the extra $3 is a state tax but most boost stores eat the $3 and it is $50 flat.
